Design

This colour multifunctional A3 device is engineered with a laser colour engine with a HyPAS solution platform, and it runs on 4096MB of RAM with speeds of up to 1067MHz through a dual core processor. The default paper handling options are two 1,500-sheet paper decks, two 500-sheet universal cassettes, a 150-sheet multi-purpose tray, and a 270-sheet document processor. The output capacity is 70 sheets for the job separator tray, 100 sheets for the upper tray, and 250 sheets for the lower tray. The base unit weighs 190kg and measures 685mm wide, 1053mm tall, and 801mm deep. Four high-speed USB 2.0 ports, a USB host port, and fast Ethernet are the standard interfaces of the Kyocera TASKalfa 6551ci. The operator panel is large and simplified with a colour display, and it can be adjusted to one's preference.

Advantages

The print speed is up to 65ppm in colour and black and white. Higher RAM and processing speed makes the Kyocera 6551ci faster. Mobile printing, colour scanning, and network printing are standard features. Advanced colour technology can enhance the quality of images to a resolution of 9600dpi. Tri-folding and booklet finishers are available for the Kyocera TASKalfa 6551ci. There are comprehensive security functions. Maintenance costs can be lowered with long-life components.

Disadvantages

The Kyocera TASKalfa 6551ci is expensive and can be costly to upgrade. It is bulky and heavy, and requires additional installation space, which may not be possible for smaller and cramped environments. The 600x600dpi default resolution of the TASKalfa 6551ci generates grainy and mediocre graphics. Fax is also optional.
